The University.
We are gratified to learn that the exer-cisss
of this venerable Institution have
opened for .he present session us favorably
as coul.l reasonably have been anticipated.
It is a trying period, however, with that as
with all such institutions. Some hare suc-cumbed
to the difficulties of the times: oth-ers
maintain a hngeiing exislenre. We
hope. !or the lasting honor and advantage
of uui .State, that no failure will be permit
ted here. The Faculty should be supported
and kept together, so that when we are a-gain
blessed with peace they may be ready
to receive the ihn.ng of young rr.en who
will resort there lor knowledge. Their sal-aries
should be raised to enable them to live
decently. Such has been the liberal course
of employer* of all kinds, from the day la-borer
to the officers of those soulless corpo-rations,
the Banns. Wages and salaries
have be-u raised from 100 to 600 per cent.
How is it with the gentlemen of ihe Univer-sity—
di-tinguished as gentlemen and for
i .tellect ! We do not know certainly, but
fear, from what we have heard of private
arrangements that i-ome of them have been
driven to, thai they have not been treated
with equal liheraliiy. Perhaps it may only
be necessary to remind the Hoard of Trus-tees
that even the Banks have doubled, and
sometimes more than doubled, the salaries
ol their officers. They have trenched upon
their reserved lund-j 10 do thi«. Why should
no' .he L i iveishy be equally liberal—nay,
equally jusl '.' We lately had great pleasure
in learning lhal within the past quaiter ol
a century, sin e 1887, there have been ad
iicd io the iiittitution buildings, apparatus,
library, and oihei iliiugs ol permanent val-ie,
costing more than »i">,000, without any
diminution of capiial, or moneyed invest
men. In other words, the net earnings
iiave exerede 1 $3000 a year, at the same
lime that 0 to 10 beneficiaries have been
educated each year, without charge for tui-tion
or room rent Besides which the entire
other expenses of a large pioporlion of these
be..eficiaries have been defrayed by ihe two
Literary Societies.
These are pleasant results tor contempla-ion.
The blessing-, of many a young man,
who might otherwise have remained in ig-n.
r.nue, rest upon the Institution and the
Societies which have thus given him the
means 'to climb the steep where Fame s

They went upon a mission per-fectly
and wholly distinct from any con-nection
with our authorities; and,
again, the object of their mission was
njt present in its nature, but altogether
ulterior, and dependent upon contin-gencies
which may arise hereafter.
Although il ia not officially known
here what is the precise object of this
mission, still it is understood among
those who claim to be specially informed
that it looks to a restoration of peace.
It is stated that Col. Jaquess, with
whom this idea originated, proposed,
nearly a year ago, that he should be
allowed to visit Richmond, and present
his views upon a reconciliation to the
Confederate authorities. Permission
was grauted him, and he proceeded
upon his mission as far as Petersburg,
when he returned without material suc-cess,

And in that last and bravest charge

Alas! he could not live to feel

Transplanted from the balile field
O'er his grave they are blooming now.
In the defense of Southern rights
He was never known t» falter.
And the blood of a nobler heart ne'er

Over his cold and earthy bed.

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAHP.IH.S—THE
CHANCES OF A PEACE OATOIPAT*.—The
New York News thinks that i ie union of
the Democracy "to drive the vandal "hosts
from the Captol'' never gai e a richer
promise ot success than at this present
time. The News says:
The feeling of the country, showing it-self
in unuiistakeahle signs for peace, has
alarmed the Administration, and the shod
dy hordes see clearly, as did the guilly
lielshazzer, that they have been weighed
in the balance and found wanting.
Tnat the candidate nominated at Chica-go
will be plated on a peace platform, the
coming events which cast their sh dows
befoie abundantly prove. Ihe feeling for
peace is a growing one. Already it is the
prevailing sentiment ol the country, aud
has ceased to be regarded as amoug the
political chances at Chicago, lor it is as
certain as if written in the book of fate.
And still it grows and will continue to
grow until those who profess to be Demo-crats,
and oppose it, will be but as excep-tions
to the general rule lhat all are in
its favor.
The Democracy must be united to sus-tain
their nomineo, and united isjone man
they will be, and he who will then be luke
warm or oppo.se a candidate upon so glo-rious
a platform will bo class, d ^s among
those who have been bought up by the
friends of'Liucohi to divide and distract
the party.
It will be a glorious siaht to sec the
conservative men of the coun'iy united in
the only national party now in existence,
battling against those who hive sunk Ihe
Qoverntncntan 1 wrecked the Union upon

the republic and reverence its Conethu
lion can stand as a band ol brothers.

by tho northern bank of the
James river. They found no difficulty
in entering the Confederate lines and,
iu fac., every courtesy was kindly ex-tended
to them as they journeyed to-ward
the capital, which they reached
on Saturday la&t.
As soon as Col. Jaquess arrived at
dichmodd he requested that he might
be placed under guard, which was done,
although the entire freedom of the city
was immediately extended t> him.
He was assigned elegant apartments
at the Spottswood House, the best hotel
in Richmond. During his stay of three
days he fared in the most sumptuous
manner. His table groaned with the
choicest of the market, and the most
savory viands were laid in profusion
before him. All kinds of meats and
vcsretablcs were served up in the most
recherche style, and brandy at six dol-lars
a bottle, and wine at fifty, were not
wanting to complete the richness of the
entertainment. Gold spoons and forks,
also, added by their glitter to the board
so festively spread.
Iiis bill for the three days was over
li.e hundred dollars in Confederate

give the slightest re vard for so distin-guished
a hospitality.
Colonel Jaquess has had two inter-views
with Jefferson Davis, in his office
in the Custom House. He fully
explained his views, to the President,
and endeavored to press this upon his
consideration.
No official report, however, having
been yet given of these interviews, it is
unknown what success attended them.

HtNTEtt's TERRIBUC DEFBAI . • TRUTH
AT LAST.—The Twelfth Oh o. veteran, reg-iment,
came down from the Kanawha
country ou the Allen Collier yesterday.—
They are about to be mustered nut of
service. This regiment was with Gen.
Hunter in Iiis lateLynchbuig expedition.
The rebels pursued Hunter it: hi i retreat
and a series ol engagements \> ere fought,
in which our loss was at least eight thou-sand
in killed, mounded and missing. On
the retreat it is charged that Gen. Hunt-er
tilled the ambulances wil'; i.cqroes, to
the neglect of the wounded white soldiers.
Hi* conduct Is bitterly denouncu^ by all
the soldiers.
It is also said that Ctneral Crook has
preferred charges against General' Hunt-er
for incapacitv and cruel treatment of
his men. As an instance, It i- charged
(wo dope entirely untrue, for it is almost
incredible.) that General Hunter cowhided
a man personally for ordering a negro to
get off a horse to give place to a wound-ed
soldier.
At Connelton, the bead of navigation
on the Kanawha, three thousand wound-ed
were placed on barges anl towed down
the river. The sufferings on tho retreat
were terrible, and r. half do7..-n soldiers
died per hour during the kit two dajs
Irom starvation, fatigeW and exposure.—
Tbe retreat was long, horrible and disas-trous
in the extreme.
ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.—Another chap-ter
in the history -f Arctioexpeditions is
about to be opened. Capt. 0. r'. Hall,
with two Esquimaux, set sail Iroin New
London, Conn., on Thursday last. The
ship which took him is bound to the Arc
tic Seas upon a w'ualing voyage, and Capt.
Hall and bis companions are 0 be set on
